Unlike all the other kindergartener's in her class Clover Brooks was not frightened when her teacher died during story time. It connected her to death which became amplified when her beloved Grandfather (who raised) her died alone while she was traveling. This left her with a calling to be with others and give them solace as they die giving her a career as a death doula.
Clover helps others and their family as they make their journey to death. She also helps those who would have otherwise died alone. Clover has spent decades helping others, listening to them and collecting their regrets. Clover has her own regrets as she's put her life hold and needs to create her own path.
The Collected Regrets of Clover is a slow build but once it builds it's a beautiful and emotional read.
